Sound was low, and distorted when sound was turned up. Music didn't project well in a small room.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Make sure the volume on the audio source is set to maximum. This will give you most volume from iBT33 and increase your signal to noise ratio.

I was hoping it would have a decent sound, but it was so bad that I had to keep the volume low. It was a cheap speaker (as far as speakers go), so I didn't have high expectations. Just thought I'd take it for a test-run, knowing I could return it if I didn't like it. I returned the speaker.

Since the sound was so bad, there was obviously something wrong. Was the speaker even charged? Did you have a corrupted Bluetooth connection? These are things we check for when the consumer calls iHome Support with a bad sounding speaker. Of course it's not supposed to sound terrible. It's an iHome!

The bass will make it keep moving so that it will eventually keep falling off whatever you set it on. Plus when it falls the side will pop off and eventually break so that they won't stay on making it so the water can get inside.

So-so sound, but more importantly, the speaker emitted a high-pitch squeak when it wasn't plugged in to power. Returned to store.

The iBT33 has 10 watts of audio output power. Sounds like you might have needed a simple reset. In the future please contact iHome Support for troubleshooting. https://www.ihomeaudio.com/support/contact/ or 1-800-288-2792

The price for this speaker encouraged me to buy but the sound was actually worse than the laptops little tinny speakers.

Ultimately, the sound that a speaker reproduces is only as good as the sound that is sent to it, so you should definitely try the speaker with another audio source. If there is no improvement with another source, then there is obviously something wrong with the speaker. If the speaker cannot be exchanged, please contact iHome Support. There is no reason to be disappointed in the quality of sound from this speaker. https://www.ihomeaudio.com/support/contact/ or 1-800-288-2792

If the speaker is no longer responding, the first thing you want to do is make sure it is fully charged. After charging, you reach into the reset port in the back compartment, and hold the switch for 10 seconds. You might need to delete the speaker from your other device and then pair again. After trying all this, if the speaker is still not responding, try exchanging with the retailer. If for some reason this is not possible, please contact iHome Support for further instructions: https://www.ihomeaudio.com/support/contact/ or 1-800-288-2792

Please try more than one charging source and also try resetting the speaker. There is a reset port in the back compartment where you can reach inside with a paperclip or toothpick and hold the switch for 10 seconds. If the speaker still fails to charge and cannot be exchanged, please contact iHome support for further instructions. https://www.ihomeaudio.com/support/contact/ or 1-800-288-2792

I've been wanting to get a small blue tooth speaker to use with my phone, tablet, etc. and finally did to for a meeting. We were in a large room with about 15 people. The sound volume and clarity was very good, even for those who wear hearing aids. Happy with my purchase.
